#FutureofTelangana with Twitter

In order to provide a holistic and open space for young people to interact with and question their future leaders, and to crowdsource a youth agenda for the Telangana Assembly Elections 2018, YLAC and Twitter India joined hands to host the #FutureofTelangana initiative in Hyderabad in November.

Designed as a non-partisan and apolitical initiative, the program was attended by delegates from institutions and civil society organizations across Telangana and saw participation from leading political figures of all major political parties in the state. Details of the discussion can be accessed via the #FutureofTelangana hashtag on Twitter.

‘I Voted’ Filter Contest with Snapchat

Before the 2019 general elections, Snapchat and YLAC joined hands to present an amazing opportunity to create a special ‘I Voted’ filter for Snapchat users in Delhi and Maharashtra! We wanted people to flaunt that they fulfilled their civic duty to vote and get others to join in the celebration of India’s democracy.

The best entries were selected and made live on the platform on polling day!

Fostering Resilience among Teens

Highly competitive student life, changing family structures and easy access to technology have significantly altered the issues that teens grapple with today. According to WHO, one in every four children in the age group of 13-15 years in India suffer from depression. 10% children do not have any close friends.

To find solutions to this problem, YLAC together with Instagram organized roundtables in Delhi and Mumbai with policymakers, mental health professionals, educators, parents and teens as attendees. The report ‘Fostering Resilience among Teens’ is an outcome of these discussions and research on best practices from around the world. It examines two key problems – mental health and bullying, and recommends institutional solutions to help resolve them.

#FindingLegitimacy with CPI

What does legitimacy of government mean to different people? And how can the relationship between a government and its citizens be strengthened? YLAC joined hands with the Centre for Public Impact (a BCG Foundation) to bring the ‘Finding Legitimacy’ project to India. This project is a global initiative by CPI to understand people’s perception of legitimacy across the world, in places such as Mexico, Canada, Brussels, Singapore and London. We were CPI’s partners for this conversation in India.

#TodayIMetIndia with Instagram

Visual storytelling can transcend and break down barriers. At the #TodayIMetIndia project in Delhi, we used photography to bring together teens from diverse backgrounds – who met as strangers but left as friends! This project was a collaboration between YLAC and Instagram in celebration of the UN’s International Day of Friendship.

#TodayIMetIndia aimed at breaking barriers of discrimination and promoting shared understanding by creating portraits which reflect and celebrate the vast cultural and religious diversity in the Indian society. Images from the project were shared widely on Instagram and Facebook, reaching millions of people worldwide, spreading the message of harmony.
